Just what is inflation and how can it be minimized? A. Inflation is a decrease in the buying power of the dollar caused by a rising cost of living. This, in turn, is brought about by a heavy public demand, result ing from a rapid increase in the national income, for things which cannot be produced in large enough quantities. Every citizen can help minimize inflation by buying Defense Bonds and Stamps. Q. How can I get cash for my Defense Savings Stamps if I should need to redeem them? A. Go to any post office. NOTE—To buy Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office, bank, or savings and loan association; or write to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. C. Also Stamps now are on sale at most retail stores. Anderson, Oct. 21.—The twenty- first annual Anderson Fair, largest event of its kind in the southeast, will take place November 3-8, in clusive, attracting annually some thing like 150,000 persons. Preparations for the big agricul tural exposition are now being completed by the association of which J. A. Mitchell is secretary. Things have already begun to hum at the Cater Park fair grounds on Greenville street, where massive, modernistic fronts for the big tents are being erected and painted. Very shortly now the big tops will be erected and booths laid out. A few days ago letters were mailed out from the association headquarters at the Anderson Chamber of Commerce to hundreds of school executives in many counties of the Piedmont section of this state and Georgia inviting school children and their teachers all of whom will be guests of the fair as usual this year. Children and their teachers will be admitted to the grounds free of charge, except for a five-cent tax imposed by Uncle Sam this year. The association will act as col lector of this tax which will be transmitted to the federal gov ernment. This is the first time in the 21-year history of the fair that any charge has been made for children on the days set aside for their attendance. Fanners Urged To Plant More Vegetables, 1942 Clemson, Oct. 18.—Vegetable growers of South Carolina are asked’to increase their 1942 acre ages to meet the farm defense goals which have been set as a part cf the total defense program for the United States, says A. E. Schilletter. extension horticul turist. In discussing the vegetable goal, Mr. Schilletter pointed out that everyone in the United States must be well fed if the nation is to make the most effective effort toward national defense. One of the health benefits of improved diets, he said, would be more stamina to stand up under the stresses of the times and partic ularly during the period of top- speed production of defense ma terials. Vegetables — particularly leafy green and yellow vegetables—are one of the most important sources of energy and sound health, ac cording to the horticulturist. An adequate diet for the people of the United States, he indicated, would require the production and consumption of more than twice the vitamin—rich vegetables pro duced annually between 1936 and 1940. With more purchasing power a- vailable and the increased knowledge of what foods consti tute a healthful diet, it is expected that public consumption of vege tables will rise steadily.
